Question

What 2 numbers equals the sum of 42 and the quotient of 3

Answer 1

21..
21 + 21 = 42
42 divided by 3 = 14. i think

Answer 2

$x+y=42 \\ \frac{x}{y} =3$

$y=-x+42 \\ \frac{x}{-x+42} =3 \\ x=3(-x+42)\\ x=-3x+126\\4x=126\\x= \frac{126}{4} \\x=31.5$

$x+y=42 \\ 31.5+y=42\\ y=42-31.5\\y=10.5$

The numbers are 31.5 and 10.5
